The above picture is obviously while Dan is out in the COLD, deep frying the turkey. The bottom picture is the turkey... Carol likes this picture cause of Dan's goofy looking face... he looks so proud of his turkey (which he was)... it is funny cause of how black that bad boy is. The turkey was really tender and juicy underneath the skin, but I could not eat it because of the spices that Dan injected it with.
I have been meaning to do this for some time now, but I am oddly exhausted when I get home from work. I have worked every day this week and am thankful for it because we need the money. It is not like I SHOULD be tired from work, cause I usually only work 4 - 5 hours a night, most of that time I am sitting down. I suppose making a baby is a lot of work for my little body... especially since I fully acknowledge that I am probably not eating very well. So... there I go again... I feel like all I ever talk about is the baby and work. I do not talk about work much on the blog, but that seems to be a lot of what I talk about with Dan. We all know I talk about the baby, "it's a boy, his head is big (which it is... saw it today), his heartbeat is around 160, he can sense light now even though his eyelids are still fused"... Lucky for me, Dan is really excited about having a baby as well and is at least slightly interested in things like, he can see light now and if you shined a flashlight at my tummy, he would likely move away from the light (which Dan now wants to try). Dan cannot wait until he gets to feel the baby moving too :D
Anyway, back to what I was trying to talk about in the beginning, Thanksgiving :D We had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed getting to spend the holidays with my Dad and his family. I think this is only the second time that I have spent Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family (since this is the second time I have been out of NC for Thanksgiving). It was great to have a wonderful husband like Dan to spend Thanksgiving with! I highly enjoyed the (very little) cooking that I did (because I was on bed rest). I always enjoy cooking for other people... oddly enough, I hate cooking for myself. I do not know if I have previously mentioned it, but the Saturday before Thanksgiving we went over to Dan's mother's house for Pie Night. Some my brother & sister in-laws were there and I really enjoy the times that I have to get to know them better. The majority of them live in Ogden, so I do not get to see them very often (actually, come to think of it, I have only seen my sister in-law Hollie twice). Anyway, over all, this Thanksgiving was great :D
Char (Dad's girlfriend) loaned us her pre-lit Christmas tree this year. So Dan and I went out and bought some decorations for it last night. We are planning on putting the tree up on Saturday after we both get home from work. I think that we are planning on going to Temple Square on Saturday too, maybe we will end up doing that on Sunday. We have to figure out where in our tiny apartment to put the tree... but I am excited for Christmas this year :D
PS - Jack (our kitty) is NUTS!
